A new Mexican restaurant billing itself as a “retro taqueria” opened in Naperville Thursday with free tacos and horchata and music provided by a 10-piece mariachi band.

The restaurant, Invicto, located at 1727 Freedom Drive, comes from the same people who founded Naf Naf Grill, which also got its start in Naperville, according to a news release from the restaurant.

Invicto’s interior features bar and table seating as well as a paleta (ice pop or Popsicle) cart.

The taqueria’s hand-painted menu board is in Spanish and includes Tijuana-style tacos, cemitas, Sonoran hot dogs and Mexican-inspired shakes, among other items.

Palomas, margaritas, micheladas and cans of beer, wine and sangria make up the drink menu.

Invicto’s Gran Inauguración, or grand opening, coincided with National Taco Day. The restaurant offered free tacos, horchata, paletas, aguas frescas and live mariachi music from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., according to the news release.

With each meal purchased Thursday at Invicto, a school meal was to be provided to a child in poverty through One Feeds Two USA organization, the release said.

Diners at the "retro taqueria" Invicto can sit at a bar area or be seated at tables in a space meant to conjure up a Mexican-style restaurant.
